ppisatianyone willing to test a panda/omap4 kernel?12:00
rbasakppisati: sure, what do you need?12:26
ppisatirbasak: just boot it and tell me if video output is ok, and if you see anything strange around (my panda's video output is broken and i'm waiting for a replacement)12:28
rbasakppisati: ah12:28
ppisatirbasak: are you running dekstop or server edition?12:28
rbasakppisati: I'm a server head, I don't have any video set up on my panda, sorry :-/12:28
ppisatiah12:28
ppisati:)12:28
rbasakI can tell you if serial output works if you like :-P12:28
ppisatii've serial :)12:29
u1106ppisati: are there any changes / improvements in video on the way or why do you ask?12:29
ppisatiu1106: because we had a "clash" between vanilla and TI BSP video support, thus i need some to check the result of my merge12:30
ppisati*someone12:30
u1106well, I'm probably not the right one, I have an HDMI transmitter with the "red damage" myself. Was just curious whether we could expect to get DVI-D & dual output back soon ;)12:32

hoontekeHas anyone asked about -- or successfully installed -- Ubuntu on a synet07526 netbook?  I've recently acquired one, and am woefully ignorant about both ARM in general, and that netbook's specs in particular.14:32
hoontekeMy first hour or so of Googling is at least proving that I have weak google-fu.  I see that Ubuntu is looking to support ARMv7+ ... does my netbook fit the bill?14:32
ogra_rsalveti, poke, did you already prepare a new pvr package for the one that infinity rejected ?14:35
ogra_hoonteke, ubuntu wont run on it14:46
=== doko_ is now known as doko
rsalvetiogra_: yup, using update-alternatives and such14:52
rsalvetiogra_: I updated the bug last monday I guess14:52
rsalvetiwith the newer package14:52
rsalvetiit's just missing the jockey integration14:53

mkopackHey guys… not sure if you'd be able to help me or not…. I'm trying to get Openni_kinect for ROS working on my Pandaboard running Ubuntu 11.10. When it goes to install/compile, it's giving me the following error:15:55
mkopack../../../../Source/OpenNI/Linux/XnUSBLinux.cpp:30:31: fatal error: libusb-1.0/libusb.h: No such file or directory15:56
mkopackis libusb something I need to add in that doesn't come built into Ubuntu?15:56
mkopack(on ARM, but does on x86?)15:57
GrueMastermkopack: I think you need the libusb-1.0-0-dev.16:00
mkopackok, let me give that a try16:01
mkopackThanks16:01
mkopackOk, so far so good!16:02
LetoThe2ndmkopack: on debianoids, the header for the libs are usually in the correspondig -dev packages. this does not only apply to libusb - just for the next header that is not found when you go on compiling :)16:05
mkopackAh, k16:06
mkopackseems to be going… now it's just the "a watched compile never builds" wait :)16:06
mkopackdamn, looks like it's trying to make a JAR for OPenNI. Guess it's time to install Java on this thing! :)16:07

hoontekeogra_: can you give me more info on why?  e.g. Is the processor pre-ARMv7?17:04
ogra_yes, and it only has 128M17:05
ogra_and just 800x480 ... ubuntu wont be fun on this17:05
ogra_even if you could boot it (i think there might be a debian port for it, google for that)17:05
hoontekeogra_: heh, the current Windows CE is about unusable ... do you have a suggestion for what would be a possible distro for this ...17:06
hoontekeoh debian ...17:06
hoontekeogra_: heh, I've *been* googling, but apparently without success.  I'll try by adding in debian to my searches now17:06
hoontekemany thanks17:06
rsalvetiinstaller crashed, lovely17:11
hoontekeogra_: do you happen to know which processor this sucker has?  I can't seem to find a straight answer.  All I can definitively say at this point is that it's an ARM, apparently pre v7.17:12
ogra_no idea, but definitely not armv717:12
hoontekedamn.  K, thanks.17:12
avinashhmHi friends,  i am trying to bring up wlan on samsung s5pv310 based custom board .. module is bulit and loaded properly .. but i am facing probem in loading firmware .. I have placed the binary wl1271-fw.bin in /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-fw.bin .. but still the udev complains that firmware is missing and creates /run/udev/firmware-missing/wl1271-fw.bin .. more logs in - http://paste.ubuntu.com/913282/ .. could some17:18
avinashhm one pls suggest where should i place the fw ..17:18
rsalvetiogra_: just got bug 972645 while installing the latest pre-built image17:18
ubot2Launchpad bug 972645 in ubiquity "Pre-built image installer crashed on daily image from Apr 3" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97264517:18
rsalvetididn't yet check the logs, just followed the report bug dialog17:18
ogra_well, last i tested was beta217:18
ogra_that worked fine17:18
rsalvetithis with the latest current image available17:19
rsalvetiogra_: did you test with selecting the auto-login option?17:19
rsalvetithat was the only different thing I did this time17:19
ogra_i never ever used auto-login :)17:21
ogra_so that might be it17:21
rsalvetithat could be the reason :-)17:21
rsalvetiI also remember it worked with beta 2 image when not using the auto-login option17:22
rsalvetiwanted to have something different this time ;-)17:22
rsalvetiI wonder if the encrypt option work as well17:23
ogra_i dont think it does17:27
ogra_iirc it requires a separate /home17:27
ogra_and preinstalled also has no concept of encrypting / since you already run from it17:28
* ogra_ thinks he remembers that GrueMaster filed a bug about that ages ago17:28
GrueMasterIf autologin is selected, it won't encrypt /home.17:31
GrueMasterI filed a bug about that back in Karmic or Lucid.  It was fixed ages ago.17:31
GrueMasterAs to current image issues, I have no clue as the QA team has taken over testing.17:32
Mephisto__hello guys! wanted to know which desktop environment/window manager do u use for ARM-based devices?17:36
GrueMasterMephisto__: We have 1 desktop image, which is mostly identical on all platforms (arm, x86, ppc, amd64).  That uses Unity where 3D acceleration is possible, Unity-2D when acceleration isn't available.17:38
=== fabo__ is now known as fabo
Mephisto__so it is gnome right (unity)17:39
=== mkopack_away is now known as mkopack
GrueMasterThe only image differences are usually where a package build takes too long to reliably include (ex: LibreOffice), or hw specific (ex: acpi tools).17:40
GrueMasterI couldn't give you the technical details of the differences/similarities of Gnome vs Unity.  That is best asked in #ubuntu-desktop.17:41
Mephisto__and performance wise, is hungry on resources?17:41
xranby_ac100Mephisto__: cpu no, memory yes17:58
xranby_ac100if you have a machine with 512mb of ram17:59
xranby_ac100then the system will use around 200mb on startup17:59
* ogra_ still gets along just fine with 512M here 17:59
ogra_not using thunderbird for mail and indeed some zcache swap :)17:59
xranby_ac100the problem atre that webbrowsers today easily eat 300mb of ram. you get along fine yes like ogra say but you can run into corner cases17:59
ogra_yeah18:00
ogra_its a non issue on 1G with a system that has proper swap indeed18:00
Mephisto__seems that with embedded systems, swap is critical !18:01
ogra_ubuntu isnt an embedded distro18:02
ogra_the arm HW we support has at least 512M ram and at least an 800MHz CPU18:03
GrueMasterThe closest we really come to an embedded system is with our preinstalled server images.  They are designed to run headless, and you can add whatver stack on top of the base install that you need.18:05
ogra_well, they still want at least 128M to run18:05
ogra_not actually embedded ;)18:05
GrueMasterYes, not a true embedded image for sure.  Just as close as we get to one.18:06
ogra_i would say core is closer18:06
ogra_but a lot more work to get working indeed18:06
honeypottdoes anybody know how to compile kernel ubuntu package without fakeroot? I cloned a kernel git and there is no debian/rules available...18:55
ogra_ask in #ubuntu-kernel about a packaging branch you can possibly merge ...19:01
ogra_or use the right tree from the start ... there is no way to build a package if you have no debian/ dir in the tree19:01
